In your case, you speculate > :that there's a single "anonymous asshole" who's responsible for everything > :that you CLAIM has occurred. > > > Nope, I'm saying that the anonymous asshole (you) keeps posting lies with no > proof and still hasn't explained why. How is asking you a QUESTION a LIE? Why won't you answer the question about why you wanted the sendmail logs from the Huge Cajones Remailer? What purpose did you have in mind for all those names and e-mail addresses? > First you said it was because of rfg > then because of burchell yet you were attacking me long before either. I trust that you have proof for that accusation. Are you now saying that your previous accusation that rfg was your so-called "anon-asshole" was a lie? Or your accusation that Scott Dentice was this person? Remember, it's YOUR theory that there's only ONE such person, yet you've accused three different people of being this individual. > So come on anonasshole, what's your reason? If you don't like my answer, then stop asking the question. As one of the former users of Jeff Burchell's now-defunct remailer, please explain why you wanted him to turn over his logs to you and Belinda Bryan which, had they existed, would have listed the identities of everyone who either sent or received anonymous mail through that remailer. > : The problem is, you haven't proven that 90% of > :the stuff you *CLAIM* occurred even happened, let alone was the work of your > :imaginary lone "spam-baiting/forging/child-molesting/cyber-stalking/libeling" > :(did I miss anything?) so-called "anon asshole". > > > Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah. You still haven't posted proof of your claims. They're YOUR claims, Gary. You're the one who keeps claiming that you're the victim of "forgery", "libel", "spam baiting", etc. You are the one that made the unsubstantiated claim that a remailer user sent a harassing letter to an unnamed "teenage girl" with a web page at DataBasix. You are the one who needs to prove them. > :How about some proof of your wild charges, Gary? > > > You're posting anonymously. You're lying about me. Those are the charges. I'm posting anonymously? Well cry me a river. Deal with it! If that's your charge, then it says more about you than it does about me. If posting anonymously upsets you, then that alone is reason enough to do it. I'm lying about you? How? By asking you why you wanted to violate the privacy of all of the users of Jeff Burchell's remailer? It was Jeff's post that revealed your attempt to violate the privacy of his users. I only referred to it. How does that make me a liar? > :" Only one of us even USES > :remailers (or at least admits to it).

Then why did you harass Jeff Burchell by demanding that he turn over his logs to you that would have identified all of his remailer's users and effectively shut it down by destroying confidence in its integrity. Did you really think that the remailer would have remained viable after it was revealed that its operator turned over its logs to DataBasix or the Church of Scientology? Or were you hoping that your attempted end run on privacy would remain your own dirty little secret? > : If remailers were shut down, I'd lose my > :ability to post.

You claim that you don't use remailers. > : Is being able to identify your > :critics and single them out for harassment really that important to you? > > You mean like you single me out for harassment? Your disinformation is getting old. You've posted no evidence: * No evidence that this so called "harassment" even occurred. * No evidence that it originated from someone other than a DataBasix staffer fabricating evidence for a smear campaign. * No evidence that I did it. * No evidence, period. Typical DataBasix big lie technique. How about the evidence, BurnFUD? HINT: Unsupported allegations that an UNNAMED user at DataBasix was "harassed" by an UNDISCLOSED e-mail from an UNNAMED person using an UNNAMED remailer are not evidence. I've posted a URL to my evidence, posted by a NON-anonymous, firsthand witness to your abuse, that NAMED you, Belinda Bryan, and William J. McClatchie. You are invited to do likewise, if you have any such evidence.

Phoenix Area cypherpunks CFIL (Call for Interest-level)
by Steve＠AZTech.Net 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I keep seeing periodic announcements for crypto-related gatherings in various metro-areas in other parts of the country. I haven't noticed any from Phoenix (nor the rest of Arizona) so, I thought I'd take it apon myself to take a CFIL. If (say) 10 people respond, I'll begin organizing a periodic get-together, along the lines of what some other localities have already done. Note to other organizers: I'd appreciate helpful hints on how to make things work. I'm more of a techie than a socialite, and don't understand all of the niceties of getting people together, finding cheap laces to meat, and finding people willing to get up in front of a crowd and talk, much less getting people that don't know each other to talk to each other. Prospective participants: Please respond with at least general coordinates for your preferred meeting place, and your preferred days/dates/times for meeting. I'd _really_ like to see this get off of the ground. I _know_ that Phoenix/AZ has enough high-tech/security-interested people to get things going. I'll be really dissapointed in my home-state if I can't get at least 10 responses. -- Steve P.S. If there is strong objection to the distribution list that I am currently using, I apologize. The initial announcement was meant to reach as many people interested in cryptography located in PHX/AZ as possible. Future announcements will probably be sent to a new majordomo list and other selected lists, as appropriate. (List managers: If you don't appreciate my efforts, please let me know.) P.P.S. If your MUA doesn't honor Reply-to: headers, please CC: sgibbo(a)amex-trs.com for a prompt response.

BAY AREA CYPHERPUNKS MEETING, SATURDAY 12/13, 1PM, MOUNTAIN VIEW
by Bill Stewart 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The December Bay Area Cypherpunks Meeting will be held 12/13 at 1pm at Printer's Ink on Castro Street in Mountain View. Depending on the weather and the size of the crowd, we'll either stay there or move to the Java Something across the street. Many of the usual suspects have been at the IETF meeting this week, so there isn't a precise agenda, but there's been a lot of activity to discuss: - Dan Bernstein Hearing Dec. 8th - PGP acquired by McAfee / NA - OpenPGP standards committee - we've reached some probable conclusions on handling the CMR Additional Recipient Request, and there's an OpenPGP track at the IETF meeting. - Any new hacks from Berkeley? - Lucky Green's Latest Smartcard Tricks Directions: Printer's Ink. is on Castro St. at the corner of Dana, about two blocks south of the Central Expressway. Parking lots are behind the stores. From 101, Take Moffett Blvd Exit to Mountain View Moffett becomes Castro St. as it crosses the Central Expressway. From El Camino, take Castro St. about two blocks north. By Caltrain, take the Mountain View Castro Street stop, about 1 hour south of San Francisco or 20 min north of San Jose. By ICBM or GPS, it's about 37.39395N 122.07791W. Thanks! Bill Bill Stewart, bill.stewart(a)pobox.com PGP Fingerprint D454 E202 CBC8 40BF 3C85 B884 0ABE 4639
